The cargo of the Star of China principally consists of 700 bags of flour 450 bags of sugar, and 50 sheep. The Lady Leigh from Auckland had not arrived in Sydney up to the sailing of the Star of China, nor had the Shepherdess of this port. The Stains Castle left Sydney for Auckland with troops on the 10th April. Among the exports from Sydney per Challenger to China, there are 8 tons of New Zealand Kauri Gum. The Success, schooner, Captain Bromley, left Sydney for the Bluff on the 15th April, with ten respectable passengers. The Caledonia is expected in Sydney to load. She has sailed from this with a full cargo for London. We fear shipping are going to he very scarce next season, at all the ports in this part of the world. H. M. S. Dcedalus, 20 guns, bound to New Zealand, having been signalized at sea by the ship Royal Consort, has most probably arrived at Auckland before this. She will materially add to the force under the control of Governor Fitzroy, and enable him to send a sloop of war to Cook's Straits. She has on board j£l,ooo in silver coin for the New Zealand Government.— Herald. ♦
